Kids Clothing Week

I finally joined this time!

Day 1 I pulled fabrics and plotted.

Day 2 Gwen needed a purple shirt to wear to school for wear purple day. I used Oliver + S Ice Cream dress pattern but made the shirt. I used Erin McMorris fabric line Weekends it is one of my favorites plus Gwen approved.

She loves it.

Day 3 I remembered these shirts my Mom figured out from a shirt Gwen had from Carters because my Mom is amazing like that and can make patterns. It is a round collar and a raglan sleeve. Since my mom isn't here anymore and I want to make more of these I am going to go to JoAnn's and find a pattern I know there is one out there. This style of shirt has been around forever.
I found a pattern for the shirt. Use Kwik Sew #K3905 Shorten the pattern for a top instead of a dress and lengthen sleeve & add elastic to the end of the sleeve.

I second that motion, when you find the pattern please share! I searched for a while and I have resorted to a Japanese pattern book for the round yoke collar and it turns out I can't read Japanese very well!

Hi. I am Darci and I love to sew. I have been sewing all my life thanks to my mom (she is the sewing master), but I would only sew in spurts depending on my mood. Since I have had kids I now sew all the time and it is my passion. Thanks for enjoying it with me.
